This is exactly the point I was making on the previous page. They are deliberately being contrarian for the sake of getting attention. If the NCAA would have hammered us they would be screaming about how the NCAA is out of control.I do find it funny though, that after months of these same media people saying the NCAA should just drop the case against us after the whole Perez issue, the NCAA pretty much did just that...yet now they are upset.

USC would have gotten lighter punishment if they hadn't been so arrogant. That and lying will always get the NCAA on your case...well, and being from the University of Miami apparently.
It seems like the media thinks Miami was just given the scholarship reductions. They aren't even considering the 2 bowls and the ACCCG given up already, along with the effect on recruiting, and the scholarship reductions already taken, and they'd reduced recruiting visits as well. I think that would have been considered heavy punishment if it was handed down by the NCAA yesterday, but because it's already happened, it doesn't really register.
Posts #14 and 16 in this thread provide the blueprint for Canes fans going forward.
Remember this: ESPN wants UM to be the bad boys of college football. Its easier for them to market us that way. This is nothing different than the way its been since the 1986 fiasco bowl. (ie: the highest rated college sporting event of that 20 year period). Let the media do what the media does. Again, posts 14 and 16 in this thread.
